Another little sea shell craft. I love collecting shells, but there is only so much room to store them, so...here's another project....I made napkins out of a few shells I've collected to make a table setting. I took some cloth and just sewed the edges down, though you could buy some cheap linens at the super center...
I found the color I wanted my shells to be and added a little paint called textile paint. You add it 1 part to 2 parts paint. Mix it together, use it, and when it dries, run an iron over it to make it 'set' and at this point the paint is washable.

I painted the shell I wanted to use, enough on the lines I wanted to push down, but not so much that it filled the grooves or it would be really blobby. I practiced a few times on other scrap fabric.
